Breathwork Exercise Videos

The Breathwork exercise videos below will help you become aware of how you breathe, slow down your breathing, and start to become aware of using your ribs and diaphragm as a way to start breathing deep.

We don’t give our breath much thought as we think of it as an involuntary action.  And our breath is so much more powerful than most of us realize.  I often have people ask me when I tell them I teach people how to breathe –  “Why do I need to learn to Breathe?”

The way we breath has a huge impact on our health and wellbeing.

I’ve included several easy Breathwork exercises in the videos below to help you start to notice how you breath.

When using our breath as tool to assist us in reprograming our breathing, we can become focused, calm, centered, energized, present and so many more benefits.

When we are caught in dysfunctional breathing patterns, it can keep us in a state of overwhelm, stress, overthinking, and possible health challenges.

Check out the Breathwork exercises videos below and contact me if you have any questions.   Feel free to share below how you feel after trying these Breathwork exercises.

BREATH AWARENESS

Notice how you breathe throughout the day.
Do you breathe:

  • light or heavy?
  • slow or fast?
  • deep or shallow?
  • or all of the above

Breathing light, slow and deep has so many benefits for our body, mind and energy.

CADENCE OR CONGUENT BREATHING

The optimal pattern of breathing is 6 breaths per minute which is a cadence of a 5 second inhale and a 5 second exhale. Most people breathe at a much faster rate. Notice your breathing pattern and try to slow down your breathing until you are comfortable with a 5 second inhale and exhale.

This practice is from the Oxygen Advantage®  training and also suggested by HeartMath.

BREATHING BIOMECHANICS

Notice what you do when I ask you to take a deep breath.  Do you breathe vertical and use your chest and shoulders to breath mainly in your upper chest? Or do your breathe horizontal, using your ribs and diaphragm and breathing deep into your lungs?  Using this practice will help you start using your ribs and activating your diaphragm to breathe deep.

This practice is from the Oxygen Advantage®  training.

MANY SMALL BREATH HOLDS

When we hold our breath as a practice, it can assist us in interrupting our mind and thoughts and reset our nervous system.

Follow the video above to practice this exercise.  If you feel too much air hunger (shortness of breath), breathe normal until your breathing becomes calm and practice again. This practice is from the Oxygen Advantage®  training.

A typical class enhances breath awareness, where the breath flows and is felt in the body, thus bringing greater appreciation of where and how to breathe. We demonstrate breathing techniques and stretches to help open the body to receive the breath. All of this is synthesized so you know how and when to use these tools in your daily life.

Check out the Breathwork Exercise videos above for a sample of what we will be doing in our Breathwork classes.

Testimonials

My comment after my first session with Pam: “Wow that’s better than drugs!” My comment after my last training: “Wow that’s better than drugs!”

Chuck

Pam is awesome!! I highly recommend her!

Tim, Chi Massage, Tucson

What I learned from Pam during each week session was how important breath
is. How it affects our body and clarity for our minds. The out breath is
more important than the intake breath.

I learned to breath in through
different parts of my organs from stomach, heart and mind as well as my
lungs. During my breath sessions I have traveled through dimensions of
clarity and direction for my life.
